4-Way 2 Solenoid 3 Position Valve
Models 4V130-4V430 C, P, E
Installation Procedure
Warning:
Do NOT over tighten the nut holding the coil to the armature tube. Over tightening may result in damage to
the welded joint.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Note:
After an extended period of operation, if you do not hear a clicking sound when the valve is operational, and the
wiring is correct, the coil may be burned out and must be replaced. This commonly occurs when input voltages are
higher than the coil’s specifications.
Attaching a Coil to a Valve:
1. After wiring the coil, fit the coil assembly over the armature tube. Ensure that the threads of the tube are acces-
sible.
2. Fit the spring or lock washer over the assembly.
o
For spring washers, the concave side should be oriented toward the coil.
3. Tighten the nut over the washer by hand.
o
For spring washers, tighten the nut further until the spring coil is almost completely flat.
o
For lock washers, tighten the nut another quarter turn.
Note:
This valve is designed for air flow only.

Operational Notes
Continuous power to the coil is not required to maintain the solenoid position.
To move the piston to a new position, power the corresponding coil. Do not power both coils at the same time.
Turn off power to the coil when piston reaches desired position.
Installing Valve onto Manifold:
Note:
Manifolds can fit 2, 4, 6, 8 and 16 valves.
Secure screws until the component will not move freely, and tighten another quarter turn.
Procedure:
1. Place a rubber seal over the manifold openings.
2. Line up the valve with port “A”, “EA, “EB” and corresponding pilot holes for the screws.
3. Secure the valve into place.
4. Cover the remaining holes with the provided gaskets.
Procedure:
1. Remove any coils attached to the valve.
2. Unscrew the holding plate and the armature tube and remove it from the valve body. Remove the piston.
3. Check for any debris that may have collected on the piston and the hole in the center of the valve.
4. Insert the piston back into the valve body.
5. Screw the armature tube and holding plate back into the valve.
Installation:
1. Connect the source to the port labeled “P”.
2. Connect the first outlet to the port labeled “A”.
3. Connect the first exhaust to the port labeled “EA”.
4. Connect the second outlet to the port labeled “B”.
5. Connect the second exhaust to the port labeled “EB”.
